>>149356215I know you have Barcelona but I have to give you the terrible news that there's basically no chance of Barcelona missing out on the next CWC, even without any changes.
The only reason they were left out this time was that they were in full crisis mode during these 4 years and missed playing UCL 2 times in that period. They've stabilized now, so there's almost no chance of Atleti outranking them again (meaning Atleti would be the one missing out going forward).
The only way to keep Barรงa out would be to remove all European slots or maximum per country slots, and hope that that manages to leave them out.
On the other hand, English teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, ManCity etc. would all be competing for only 2 slots unless different clubs win the next 3 UCLs, so if any changes to qualification rules are made, it will be for them.
